During metamorphosis, the vegetable-processing gut of the tadpole transforms into the short, active gut of the carnivore (frogs eat insects.) The tadpole mouthparts for rasping algae also disappear. For up to a week, the new frog has a mouth and gut that do not function. During this time, the frog lives off its tail, which is being reabsorbed, and its body fat reserves, and will refuse the food it ate as a tadpole and the sort of food it might eat as a young frog. When it is a young frog, it will eat small invertebrates of any kind. E.g. small flies, dragonflies, grasshoppers etc. Do not try to feed a frog slugs, snails or worms. If you are raising tadpoles and want to keep the young frogs for a while (such as I did) you can trap fruit flies if the climate is relatively warm. Ask your greengrocer for a polystyrene broccoli box. Wash it out well and dry it. Turn it upside down so that the opening is touching the ground. Cut a small hole in the side, like a mouse-hole. This is where the flies will enter. Cut another hole on the bottom of the box which now faces upwards and fit a jar into it. Place some bait such as tinned pineapple on a plate underneath the upturned box. Fruit flies will enter through the hole. When you tap the sides of the box, they will fly off the fruit, panic and enter the jar. Put your hand over the jar mouth and transfer the flies to the baby frogs' enclosure.

What could you catch in your backyard that you could feed your pet frog?
If your frog is wild-caught or lives in your pond, then yes. However, if you bought your frog from a pet shop it is likely that he/she was bred in captivity and you shouldn't feed him/her wild insects. There are several reasons for this, but the main one is that in the wild, frogs are immune to some diseases that insects carry, whereas a captive-bred frog will have eaten only healthy insects from the pet shop, as have its parents and sometimes even its grandparents. This is why you must first check before feeding your pet frog food from your garden. If you did find or buy a wild frog, then you could catch ants, fruitflies, houseflies, etc for him/her! =)

What do you feed a wild baby baby frog?
Frogs will only eat live food, it must be moving before they see it as food. Small ants or fruit flies are good for tiny frogs, when they are slightly bigger they can be feed meal worms purchased from a local pet store. If you have a big frog, then feed it superworms, mealworms, large crickets, and waxworms from a pet store, because those are pretty big. Medium sized frogs should have medium sized crickets and mealworms. Tiny frogs can have fruit flies and small ants. ALWAYS get your frog's food from a pet store, even if you have a wild one, because wild bugs could have diseases, and kill your frog.

What should you feed a wild frog?
If you mean a wild frog that will stay living outside, then don't feed it, it will find food itself. (though i guess you could try to feed it if you want). If you mean bring it inside as a pet, this will be stressful and probably kill it unless you bring it in when it is young. You can buy crickets and mealworms at many pet stores. Or you can look under rocks and things for worms, pill bugs, and small beetles. amphibians caught in the wild where there is a winter season must get a hibernation period in or it wont survive and will go crazy
